Why Steel Tanks?
Two words: Durability & Reliability
Colorbond Tanks Steel Tanks will outlive any other type of tank
They're corrosion proof
Aquaplate steel tanks are made from Bluescope corrugated Colorbond steel that has a food grade polymer coating attached to the inside. This basically makes the tank corrosion proof, which is why there is such a long warranty on our tanks.
Unaffected by UV Rays
Colorbond tanks are completely unaffected by Australia's extreme UV rays, unlike some other tanks which break down over time. With light penetration also comes algae which can spoil your water & may damage your pump
Will not bulge when filled
Colorbond Aquaplate Tanks have consistent wall thickness and strength & will not bulge when filled. Tanks made from other materials have been known to fail as a result of inconsistent manufacturing processes which can cause critically thin walls
Choice of modern Colorbond colors
Colorbond corrugated tanks look great. Most of us are proud of our homes - why not have a watertank that matches? Choice of modern Colorbond colors or a galvanised finish for that traditional rural Australian look
Completely non-flammable
Colorbond tanks are completely non-flammable and certainly won't melt or emit toxic fumes during a fire. In fact you may be required to have a steel tank for firefighting use if you build a new house in a high risk area
100% recyclable
For those who are interested - the annual environmental burden of a water tank made from Aquaplate is equivalent to one 100W light bulb switched on for a week. The tanks are also 100% recyclable making them more enviro-friendly than other materials.
Drinkable water
Colorbond Aquaplate tanks won't taint the taste of your drinking water - fully food grade approved. When it comes to plastic tanks - the jury is still out on the question of long term water quality
Can fit almost anywhere
Along with the superior strength of steel, it is the adaptability that Colorbond tanks can be made to almost any shape & size to fit those awkward spots... slimline shape, round or square.
